Facilitation Note: As students are sharing, listen to their conversations to
find out what they know about hockey and the players that they highlight.
Consider comments, ideas or insights that are shared that would spark
further conversation with the class community during the share portion of
this activity and make connections to the story of Angela James.
Have some students share their thinking and the thinking of the group with
the class community.
Step B:
Assessment
for Learning
FOCUSED VIEWING AND DOCUMENTATION OF THINKING
Lesson Note: There is a focused viewing and shared reading section to this
portion of the lesson. You may choose to do both or select one to do with
your students. Doing both will require additional time than is noted in this
lesson.
Teacher Talk: We are going to view a video and read about a hockey player
who has been described as “the female Wayne Gretzky.” She has made a
profound difference in the hockey world, and we are going to learn about the
journey she went through to reach these goals. Consider what we have been
learning about Perseverance and if there is any evidence of Perseverance
impacting herself, others and society. As we watch the video, please use the
Graphic Organizer to document your thinking.
Focused Viewing: Show YouTube video Journey to the Hall: The Story of
Angela James, youtube.com/watch?v=NeV7CrFuFk4.
Facilitation Notes: As they view the video, students complete the first
column (“What I viewed/heard…”) of BLM #3, Focused Viewing/Shared
Reading Graphic Organizer. They will complete the second column after the
viewing and discussions regarding the video content.
There are several social issues and situations that are explicitly and implicitly
noted in the video, including the following:
• race/ethnicity
• being bi-racial in a family that is not
• gender
• exclusion and acceptance
• homosexuality
• socio-economic condition/poverty
• men’s versus women’s hockey (visibility, validity, etc.)
